Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Right. That's why I asked his Mother to start waking him at 2 or 2:30 AM when she gets up and DON"T let him lay back down. She said she will wake him at 4:15AM when she leaves for work and make him start taking a shower every morning. She said he would fall asleep in the tub, so that is out. This way it should wake him up and make him alert. PLUS. she will be waking him up and not ME.
That is what we are wanting to do. Get him up early and tire him out quite a bit for a couple of days until we can get his body adjusted to where he is completely tired out, body and mind and he can sleep. The bus here runs at 6 AM sharp and it is still dark outside and with a bus driver who has to run 2 afternoon routes due to a bus driver shortage, sometimes they don't get home until 4 PM. So we HAVE to adjust his sleep to help him get on the Bus schedule. We are not doing it for cruelty. We are simply trying to help him adjust. After about 2 days of getting up at 2 AM then we can do 3 AM and then 4 Am and then get back to our regular 5 AM schedule. We were going to do this in increments to help his internal circadian rhythms ( that is if his is working at this time.)
